Princequillo- Leading sire, 1957-59. Leading broodmare sire, 1966-70, 1972-73.
Fair Play- Leading sire in America, 1920, 1924, and 1927 (sire of Man O' War). Top broodmare sire, US, 1931, '34, '38.
Wow, that's a tough one....Princequillo would be one for me also, Domino line would be a second, since he pre-dated 1900, I'd go with Broad Brush, and third...probably War Admiral, although a stamina sire such as Ribot or Stage Door Johnny might be a better fit!
